EARTH'S BEST®

Earth's Best was founded on the belief that babies should begin their lives eating wholesome, pure foods harvested by organic farming practices that help to enrich the earth's soil and water supplies for future generations to come. That belief still holds true today as Earth's Best celebrates 25 years of nurturing babies the purest way.

At its inception Earth's Best consisted of only six jarred food varieties. Over time, the brand has grown to include a complete line of organic infant foods all made without the use of potentially harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides including infant formulas with DHA and ARA, cereals, over 60 jar varieties in single and unique flavor combinations for all stages of a baby's life, plus teething biscuits and juice. The brand's more recent introductions of Earth's Best Sesame Street fortified toddler products, baby body care products made with organic ingredients and earth-friendly TenderCare® Chlorine Free Diapers and Wipes help to ensure that we nurture babies from head to toe with products that are not only "better for baby" but better for the environment.

With a strong belief that organic foods are best for children of all ages, Earth's Best introduced a line of Sesame Street organic toddler products in partnership with Sesame Workshop and their "Healthy Habits for Life" initiative, providing a great start to a lifetime of good health. This campaign utilizes a coalition of partners and an advisory board of health, nutrition, fitness and education experts to develop and distribute multi-media, age-appropriate information targeted to preschoolers and their caregivers, empowering them with knowledge and positive attitudes about their bodies, while providing tools to encourage a great start to a lifetime of good health. The Earth's Best Sesame Street line launched with breakfast cereals and snacks and later expanded to organic soups made with whole grain pasta and frozen foods. All Earth's Best Sesame Street products are specially formulated for toddlers with iron, zinc and six B vitamins.

Earth's Best further supports the "Healthy Habits for Life" program in-store via packaging, point of sale materials, pallet programs, in-store demos, as well as a specific destination of product and nutritional information at www.earthsbest.com. All Earth's Best Sesame Street packaging contains fun, educational activities for children and proudly displays the "Healthy Habits for Life" icon. Brochures are distributed with activities for children and tips for parents on how to encourage healthy eating habits for their children and the entire family. The Earth's Best website promotes further the benefits of living a healthy life style and making the right food choices. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit education organization behind Sesame Street, puts the proceeds it receives from sales of its products right back into Sesame Street and its other project for children at home and around the world.

For more information on Earth's Best and how we can help you to incorporate healthy eating into your family's daily life visit www.earthsbest.com.

PNC

PNC recognizes that learning in a child's early years is essential for their long-term success, and is pleased to be a first-year on-air sponsor of Sesame Street. In 2004, The PNC Financial Services Group, which is the principal funding source for the PNC Foundation, established PNC Grow Up Great and PNC Crezca con Éxito, a comprehensive bilingual, corporate-based school readiness program.

Through the 10-year, $100 million program, which focuses on underserved children, PNC provides the leadership, advocacy, funding, tools, and volunteers to help educate parents, caregivers, and communities on how to prepare young children for school and life.

From the beginning, PNC Grow Up Great has partnered with Sesame Workshop to help increase awareness of the value of quality early childhood education. In the process, Sesame Workshop created bilingual, multiple media "Happy, Healthy Ready for School" kits for the program. More than 500,000 kits have been distributed for free. The kits provide helpful tips and fun activities for children and families to turn everyday moments into learning opportunities.

Last year, with major support from the PNC Foundation, Sesame Workshop launched "One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure." The planetarium show with Elmo, Big Bird and Hu Hu Zhu was designed to introduce children to the wonders of astronomy. As children explore the sun, moon, and stars, they are also learning how people all over the world are connected and how everyone everywhere shares the same sky.

The PNC Foundation has distributed $17 million in grants to early childhood education centers and other initiatives that support early childhood education as part of Grow Up Great. Through PNC arts and science grants, teachers receive professional development training and children gain opportunities they may not otherwise have to broaden their experience and knowledge. In 2009, PNC launched Grow Up Great with Science, an initiative which supports 14 regional science centers and non-profit organizations to enhance early science education. The funding enables the organizations to help teachers create classroom activities for children and to extend free visits to the centers' interactive exhibits to families. PNC has also supported many arts and cultural institutions to create programming for preschoolers. Studies have shown that an arts-rich environment helps children succeed in school and improves cognitive learning skills.

PNC employees have volunteered more than 115,000 hours since the initiative's launch to help young children succeed in school and life. PNC encourages employee involvement through a progressive policy that permits 40 hours a year of paid time off to volunteer.

PNC leverages the influence of its executives with the corporate community, policymakers and other key influencers to elevate public/private discussions about the importance of access to quality early childhood education. PNC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James E. Rohr serves as honorary chair of the Pennsylvania Early Learning Investment Commission along with Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell. Made up of business leaders from across the state, the commission seeks support for public investment in early learning. For his many efforts in support of early childhood education, Sesame Workshop honored Jim Rohr and PNC with its Corporate Honoree Award in 2007.

In addition, PNC Grow Up Great has assembled an Advisory Council of early childhood experts from academia, medical professions and not-for-profit leaders who provide issue expertise and guidance for the program. Along with Sesame Workshop, PNC works in partnership with Family Communications, Inc., producer of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and Head Start, as well as local organizations across its multi-state region.

The Good Egg Project

As part of the Good Egg Project, America's egg farmers are proud to sponsor Sesame Street and its mission to educate children. The Good Egg Project is an effort by America's egg farmers and the American Egg Board to educate people about modern egg farming, encourage participation from families in their communities and help the hungry by donating eggs to America's food banks. The Good Egg Project also aims to educate families about how eggs get from the farm to their breakfast tables along with the many health benefits of eating eggs.

In an effort to fight hunger, America's egg farmers are asking people to take the Good Egg Project pledge to "Eat good. Do good everyday." In addition to the millions of eggs America's egg farmers donate to the hungry annually, for every pledge made, America's egg farmers will also donate one egg to Feeding America, up to one million eggs!

The Incredible Edible Egg

For generations, America's egg farmers have been committed to caring for animals and providing nutritious and affordable eggs to consumers. Eggs are all-natural and, at an average of just 13 cents a piece, eggs are one of the most affordable sources of high-quality protein and deliver a big nutrient bang for the buck. The high-quality protein in the incredible edible egg provides the mind and body energy families need to keep going throughout busy days.

Visit www.GoodEggProject.org to learn more about modern egg farming and how to give back to the community and live more healthfully. Families can also visit www.incredibleegg.org for kid-friendly recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
